I have both a .profile and an /etc/profile and after some trial and error, it turns out that commenting out a single line in .profile causes my normal gnome session to work. I am much happier now, if somewhat more puzzled. The line I commented out is "alias ls='ls --color=always'" My .profile file before I made the changes (it's the one that doesn't work.): #export NETHACKOPTIONS=color,pickup:$,name:Jonathan,windowtype:X11 export NETHACKOPTIONS=color,pickup:$,IBMgraphics,name:Jonathan # export MIBS=IP-MIB:IF-MIB:TCP-MIB:UDP-MIB:SNMPv2-MIB:RFC1213-MIB:UCD-SNMP-MIB:ASCEND-ADSL-CAP-MIB:ASCEND-CALL-MIB:ASCEND-EVENT-MIB:ASCEND-FIREWALL-MIB:ASCEND-LANMODEM-MIB:ASCEND-MCAST-MIB:ASCEND-RADIUS-MIB:ASCEND-SDSL-MIB:ASCEND-SESSION-MIB:ASCEND-WAN-MIB:RFC1253-MIB:RFC1315-MIB:RFC1317-MIB:RFC1398-MIB:RFC1406-MIB:Modem-MIB # export MIBFILE=`cat ~/miblist` #export PATH=/home/jguthrie/bin:$PATH alias ls='ls --color=always' #export TERM=linux-c eval `dircolors -b ~/.dir_colors` export TZ=CST6CDT export CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs/blair -- Jonathan Guthrie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sto pro veritate
